BACKGROUND
- - - - -
Erik Volker grew up in Pennsylvania. The son of a coal miner and a seamstress, he enlisted late in the Civil War after witnessing the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg. Being a good shot, he was trained as a sharpshooter but never saw action. He typically patrolled and protected supply lines, which he found boring. After the war, he tried to follow in his father's footsteps as a coal miner. However, he often thought about moving west and trying his hand at gold mining. After saving up enough money, his restlessness became too great and he moved west.
